If there ...What a remarkable story, thanks Adrian.<br /><br />If there is one thing I take from this, then it is that we dare not venture into the future without taking the hands of our Southern African neighbors. With Angola and Mozambique experiencing a renaissance and with the rich resource discoveries in Mozambique and Namibia, there is no reason why the Southern African region should not aspire to surpass the heights of the European Union.<br /><br />I reckon it is South Africa's duty to engage with these neighboring economies. We have a lot to offer in terms of expertise. More important though, is that we will be able to realize one of the New Growth Path's ambitions: creating jobs through regional trade. The primary and secondary industries should be able to extract great value from closer relationships with our neighbors as would our services sector.<br /><br />Here's hoping for some decisive action from our government. Silence those who would sour our relationships with our neighbors and extend a hand of friendship to Angola, Namibia, Botswana and Mozambique.Andre Liebenberghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15214967527785481378noreply@blogger.com
